Funding issue hits Tullygarley pedestrian crossing plan

A pedestrian crossing is to be installed at Tullygarley Road near Ballymena but only when funding becomes available, councillors have learned.

Minutes of a meeting held by Mid & East Antrim Borough Council show that the roads chiefs had previously agreed to the plan but have now said it is not envisaged that the work will be done in the current financial year.

The roads bosses said the design was ready and when funding becomes available the work will start.
